A sharp and deceptively layered comedy that's further fueled by the odd couple chemistry of its leads, this Long Shot largely hits its marks.

The movie's lack of political substance empties out the relationship at its center; having little to work with and little to hold them together, the actors appear to be meeting each other for the first time in every scene. May 10, 2019 | Full Review…

I generally like Rogen a lot but this performance is bad - worse than it even seems because of the drain it is on the movie. May 7, 2019 | Full Review…

Some gags could be sharper but the gender-fluid chemistry between the leads is a joy. May 5, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

But laziness, a common flaw of this star's man-child characters, seeps into the whole movie: It can't be bothered to convince us that this particular goofball could or even should win the girl. May 3, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

...despite the clunky, unimaginative script and the by-the-numbers direction, Long Shot is saved by the exact gimmick that probably green-lit it in the first place: Theron and Rogen. Jan 18, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Broad appeal with Long Shot as it plays to the Seth Rogen fan base, the rom com watchers, and anyone that enjoys political comedies. It's smarter and funnier than you'll want to give it credit for. Nov 21, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The way Long Shot differentiates itself from the sexist sitcom cliche is by exploring the difficulty men have in ceding power to women, even if-perhaps especially if-the women are clearly more skilled and intelligent. Nov 21, 2019 | Full Review…

It's not a new Valentine's Day classic perhaps, but there are enough warm, fuzzy feelings, along with many laughs, to qualify for date night. Oct 17, 2019 | Full Review…
